Spy School Revolution is an amazing tale, which doesn’t only include the current world, and has future technologies, but this novel also dives into the past and what could've been. This book also has lots of action which keeps the pages turning and will have you constantly grinning and smiling as you read. Another reason I love this book is because the unpredictable will always happen, and you will never know what could be coming next.

When The World Was Ours is a heart-touching book about friendship. This book revolves around three friends Leo, Elsa and Max. When World War II breaks out they are forced to separate from one another. Once they separate all three of them go their ways and we see how their fates are intertwined. I enjoyed this book a lot because it is a short and meaningful book. The aspect I loved the most in this book is the friendship between the three main characters.
